糯米鸡 (Steamed Glutinous Rice with Chicken)

却原来主料是糯米，鸡肉只是部分的配料。Some dishes have really strange names. For example, the Micro-wavy Bun that doesn't use the microwave, or the Milk Toast that doesn't use milk. Literally translated, this recipe's Mandarin name reads "Glutinous Rice Chicken", yet this dish is more about the glutinous rice than the chicken.

或许看似不按牌理出牌的名称，

更能激起一份天生的好奇心，

往往就是这份好奇心，紧接就是另一份征服心。This strange way of naming dishes is probably a tactic in piquing curiosity. And with curiosity comes the inspiration to master the dish.

我常在点心楼吃这道糯米鸡，

所以今天做这道糯米鸡，不是好奇他的名字，

而是纯粹比较一下自家和点心楼的落差。 I've often ate this dish at dim sum restaurants, so I decided to give this dish a go to see the difference between home-made and commercial.

一句话，好好吃！This home-made Steamed Glutinous Rice with Chicken is just as good as those found at dim sum restaurants. The rice soft and fragrant, the chicken delicious, the mushrooms and sausages sweet and lovely. To put it in a nutshell: yummylicious!
